Brad Johnson Baseball Chat – 5/23/2017

Today’s chat transcript, starting with Sam Travis before moving on to players I like less than Yonder Alonso.
| 3:45 |
: Every time I open the chat early, it always amazes me how quickly I start getting questions.
|
| 3:45 |
: Took 10 seconds
|
| 3:46 |
: The new thing of the hour is Sam Travis. He’s joining the Red Sox.
|
| 3:46 |
: I haven’t looked into why he’s joining the team – seemingly HanRam and Moreland are healthy enough to absorb all/most of the 1B/DH work
|
| 3:47 |
: As for who he is as a player, I think he may have some initial contact issues before he figures things out. Some power, but less than you’d expect from a 1B. More speed than you’d expect, but still not much
|
| 3:48 |
: Like I said, the history of high averages in the minors might not show up immediately.
